The Social Network tops IndieWire critics poll

The Social Network, Black Swan, Carlos, and Winter’s Bone dominate IndieWire‘s annual poll of critics and movie writers.

Together those four films dominated many other categories in the poll. “Carlos” star Edgar Ramirez was named the best lead performance of the year, with “Social Network”‘s Jesse Eisenberg, “Black Swan”‘s Natalie Portman, and “Winter’s Bone”‘s Jennifer Lawrence following (interestingly, while Ramirez and Eisenberg were 1-2 in the genderless category, the following 7 slots all went to women). “Bone”“s John Hawkes was named the best supporting performance of the year, beating out “The Fighter”‘s Christian Bale, “Fish Tank”‘s Michael Fassbender, and “Animal Kingdom”‘s Jacki Weaver
